Now available in paperback! In Our Own Voices is a timely and intellectually stimulating collection of essays by twenty-five culturally diverse librarians who share their experiences in the transition from library school to library work. These librarians detail their introduction to librarianship, their encounters with racism in its many forms, and their desire to succeed in a profession that has not always lived up to its pledge of fairness and equal opportunity. They write about their experiences without rancor, and, in this way, provide new librarians with practical information and advice not always available to the contributors as they were choosing their career. Includes an appendix of ethnic and professional associations and library school programs for use in professional development and financial aid. Cloth edition published in 1996.
Teresa Y. Neely was a Social Sciences and Humanities Reference Librarian at Colorado State University, Fort Collins. She is currently on leave to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Library Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Khafre K. Abif is Head of Children's Services at Mt. Vernon Public Library, New York City.
